(Links to tools and equipment used in the description box below) In this video ill show you how to repair a broken fence post in under 20 minutes..... without having to dig out the concrete !
I do many differeant fence post repairs and this has to be the easiest and cheapest way to fix a fence post, by far !
This is the quickest fence post repair you will ever do !
Its a simple case of hammering in 2 metal bars between the concrete and fence post in the ground and then screwing it into the exisiting fence post.
Its as simple as that and requires very few tools.
The Post Buddy is the quickest, easiest repair for broken timber fence posts you can buy.
This system will fix any concreted-in wood post where it stands in as little as 20 minutes. No digging. No need to dismantle the fence.
If you would like to see how to do a more substantial fence post repair, have a look at this video on, how to install a concrete repar spur - • How To Repair a Fence ...
I hope that this video helped you in some way, and if it did, please leave a comment for me in the comments section. I love to hear from people who gained value from any of my videos. I always respond to comments, so would be great to hear from you guys ! 👍

This is a temp repair. NO tradesman would put their name to this method (unless they're cowboys).If you can break out the old concrete then spend an extra few quid and get a new post and a couple of bags of postcrete. it's better than botching an old post that will continue to rot further and then need replacing anyway. A new post that's pressure treated isn't expensive and will come with a 10-15 year guarantee.

Another Pommy DIY guy has a (free) YT channel. He installed a 750mm concrete post next to the timber one, and removed half the concrete. I have installed replacement posts and conclude that water and damp soil sitting on top of the concrete is rotting the post. Maybe beveling the top of the wet concrete will help water run off, and extending the concrete an inch above ground will work. Some people wrap a bit of plastic around the post like a sock. If you pour concrete to or beneath the post base this may also prevent drainage as water collects there.

I’ve done something similar about 3-4 years ago using 75cm lengths of 40mm scrap angle iron, I just cut the bottoms to form a spike, then drove them in between the post stump and concrete, once in position drilled fixing holes and secured with 75mm decking screws..... job done. The posts haven’t budged since installation.

A simple tip that i have used ever since i did fencing as a job in the late 60s. When you put in new wooden posts bitumastic paint the end of the post that goes into the ground but make sure 2 inches of the paint remains above the soil. This will make your posts last 4 to 5 times longer. Its the wet dry cycle that makes posts rot at ground level

@@featherbrain7147 I used post buddy on two six foot posts in the centre portion of a long run of fencing eight years ago. The entire centre fence was in danger of coming down. It took under 45 minutes and cost less than £30. The whole 50 +feet of fencing is still standing to this day on a hilly site on Tyneside. We’ve moved house (3 miles) and last nights winds have caused the same issue with the fence here. Two posts have issues. Rather than calling someone out who will no doubt tell me the whole fence needs replacing I’m going to do it myself for £65 - providing support to all four posts in the run.

Been repairing fences for 35yrs. X2 lengths of 9mm angle iron, cut 1 end of each length to a point and club hammer them in the ground in opposite corners of the post, screw into post. No digging or removing of fence panels required. 10yrs after repair had fence posts that had completely rotted through at the bottom but post/fence still solid.

Concrete spur post is the best way , the metal strips arnt fixed into the concrete . They are simply hammered into the wet rotting post base, which is encased in concrete. Go ahead fantastic idea 💡 👏

I agree with most people on here, permanent fix is to replace the post but its hard going, I would easily use these on a wet winters day to make do until better weather.

Yeah it is often out of most people's comfort zone. So a cheap, easy repair is a good option, till it is time to replace.

L shaped chain link metal posts can be driven in by just easing the panel away from the post. No need to remove the panel I have done it a hundred times with great success.

Good video. Though as someone who has one of these types of fences, I can’t say strongly enough how terrible they are. I’ve had the fence for 15 years, but in that time have replaced most of the panels and posts about 3 times each. Finally blew down again in the recent storms - did not come as a surprise as those panels are flimsy rubbish. New fence with concrete posts and decent close board panels being installed next week.

That reminds me of the 60 year old brush story, same brush all those years only had to replace the head three times and the pole twice... My parents have a offset rail? fence, must be 30 years old looks like new, don't know how it lasts and wind travels through it I guess... Happy New fence to you

Yeah I put up closeboard fencing many years ago. I bought the square steel post stakes that you hammer but concreted them in slightly proud of ground level. Now when I need to replace post I just slide the rotten post out and pop a new post in. I used all stainless steel screws with Arris rail brackets so they never have rusted for easy service.

With 15 years of that sort of fencing grief I'm surprised you haven't got 'post' traumatic stress......it's a rotten condition.

Post always rot in that section just where it goes into the soil level or floor level. On another youtube video A guy explains why and how to hold that rot off for more years. The microorganisms love the damp soft timber and fungus grows in it then weakening the structure of the wood. If you protect 3-4" above and below this area where it meets the ground the post lasts a whole lot longer. I have used bituminous compound mixed with old engine oil and diesel for years and posts I've put in over 10-15 yrs ago still standing strong. 👍
